Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to create custom keybindings but am having no such luck. Lets say I wanted <Alt>E to open emacs, how would I do this?

Thanks for the help,

Calvin

I don't know how this works in GNOME but for KDE you can define Shortcut keys
for each application (in Menu-Editor)... Try to find a similar thing (Menu-Editor) in
Gnome and define shortcuts for the application you want!

There's no UI for it (that I know of), but you can set up custom keybindings using gconf-editor. Go to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings and set up a keybinding and a command in /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands.

That works well enough for me. Thanks for the help!
